Understanding Image Quality Loss When Resizing in Swift

If you're a developer working with images in iOS apps, you may have noticed that adjusting the size and corner radius of a UIImage can sometimes lead to a decrease in quality. This issue has perplexed many programmers, particularly those using Swift and Xcode to create beautiful user interfaces. In this guide, we'll address this common problem and provide a solution that will help preserve the quality of your images when resizing.

The Problem: Decreasing Image Quality

When working with images in a Swift application, you might use a function that adjusts the corner radius and size of a UIImage, like the withRoundedCornersAndSetSize() function shown below:

However, you may find that the quality of the image noticeably declines when you modify it. The main reason for this degradation in image quality is related to how the image is resized and drawn, which might not account for proper scaling or dimensions.

The Solution: Using the resize() Method

Upon further investigation, a solution that retains image quality involves resizing the image before performing any modifications to its corner radius or dimensions. This can be done by integrating a resize() method into your image extension. The new implementation of your withRoundedCornersAndSetSize() function might look like this:

Breaking Down the Solution

Resizing the Image: Before applying any other modifications, we create a resized version of the original image using the resize() method. This method utilizes UIGraphicsImageRenderer, which helps maintain the image quality during the resizing process.

Determine Corner Radius: The code checks if a specific corner radius has been provided. If not, it calculates the maximum possible corner radius based on the resized image's dimensions.

Drawing the Image: Next, we create a new graphics context, draw the resized image with rounded corners in this context, and finally extract the newly created image.

Conclusion

By implementing a resizing function before adjusting size and radius, you can effectively prevent image quality loss in your Swift applications! The combination of resize() and ensuring that proper parameters are used in context initialization allows developers to maintain the integrity of their images while creating visually appealing user interfaces.
